Harvesting Green Hydrogen from the Deep Blue: Seawater-Compatible SnSe-P Decorated Graphene-CNTs Based Electrocatalyst Under Universal pH.

Fabrication of cost-effective and robust metal-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) across the entire pH range has garnered significant attention in harvesting renewable energy. Herein, the fabrication of 3D high-surface Ni Foam-Graphene-Carbon Nanotubes (NGC) decorated with phosphorous-inserted tin selenide (SnSe-P) showcases unprecedented HER activity with minimal overpotentials across all pH ranges (52 mV in acidic, 93 mV in basic, and 198 mV in neutral conditions@10 mA cm) and stability at 1 A cm for 72 h. The as-designed catalyst shows a low overpotential of 122 mV@10 mA cm in alkaline seawater, achieved through controlled electronic distribution on Sn site after incorporation of P in NGC-SnSe-P.

Evaluating Sleep Challenges in Hospitalized Youth.

Objective: To characterize sleep quality and sleep disruptions among youth hospitalized outside of the intensive care unit (ICU).

Patients And Methods: Participants were eligible for the survey-based study if they were 8-17 years old, English-speaking, hospitalized for ≥3 days outside of the ICU, and developmentally able to understand surveys. Survey administration included a sleep diary, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents (ESS-CHAD), and a study-specific Inpatient Sleep Disruptors Questionnaire.

Harnessing Environmental Sensitivity in SnSe-Based Metal-Semiconductor-Metal Devices: Unveiling Negative Photoconductivity for Enhanced Photodetector Performance and Humidity Sensing.

The extreme sensitivity of 2D-layered materials to environmental adsorbates, which is typically seen as a challenge, is harnessed in this study to fine-tune the material properties. This work investigates the impact of environmental adsorbates on electrical properties by studying metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) devices fabricated on CVD-synthesized SnSe flakes. The freshly prepared devices exhibit positive photoconductivity (PPC), whereas they gradually develop negative photoconductivity (NPC) after being exposed to an ambient environment for ∼1 day.

Phosphorus-Doped Nickel Oxide Micro-Supercapacitor: Unleashing the Power of Energy Storage for Miniaturized Electronic Devices.

For an uninterrupted self-powered network, the requirement of miniaturized energy storage device is of utmost importance. This study explores the potential utilization of phosphorus-doped nickel oxide (P-NiO) to design highly efficient durable micro-supercapacitors. The introduction of P as a dopant serves to enhance the electrical conductivity of bare NiO, leading to 11-fold augmentation in volumetric capacitance to 841.

Porous Carbon Template Decorated with MOF-Driven Bimetallic Phosphide: A Suitable Heterostructure for the Production of Uninterrupted Green Hydrogen via Renewable Energy Storage Device.

Water splitting via an uninterrupted electrochemical process through hybrid energy storage devices generating continuous hydrogen is cost-effective and green approach to address the looming energy and environmental crisis toward constant supply of hydrogen fuel in fuel cell driven automobile sector. The high surface area metal-organic framework (MOF) driven bimetallic phosphides (ZnP @CoP) on top of CNT-carbon cloth matrix is utilized as positive and negative electrodes in energy storage devices and overall water splitting. The as-prepared positive electrode exhibits excellent specific capacitances/capacity of 1600 F g /800 C g @ 1A g and the corresponding hybrid device reveals an energy density of 83.

Daytime Sleepiness in Children With Asthma: Examining Respiratory and Non-respiratory Factors.

Objective Daytime sleepiness is common in youth with asthma (YWA). Treatments designed to mitigate daytime sleepiness in YWA require an understanding of the primary causes of this problem. We examined respiratory- and non-respiratory-related factors associated with daytime sleepiness in YWA.

Differential expression of extracellular matrix proteins in the lesional skin of vitiligo patients.

Skin pigmentation is regulated by intricate interaction of the dermis and epidermis. The extracellular components present in the dermis play a very important role in the maintenance of skin homeostasis. Therefore, our objective was to check the expression of various ECM components secreted by the dermal fibroblasts in the lesional skin and non-lesional skin of vitiligo patients.

Myricetin: a potential plant-derived anticancer bioactive compound-an updated overview.

The globe is currently confronting a global fight against the deadliest cancer sickness. Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, surgery, and radiation therapy are among cancer treatment options. Still, these treatments can induce patient side effects, including recurrence, multidrug resistance, fever, and weakness.

Polysomnographic characteristics and treatment modalities in a referred population of children with trisomy 21.

Background: Children with Trisomy 21 (T21) are at an increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which can impact daily functioning and cause other health complications. Accordingly, it is imperative to diagnose and treat SDB in this population. Current guidelines recommend screening polysomnogram by age 4 or sooner if clinically indicated.

Eliminating Data Duplication in CQA Platforms Using Deep Neural Model.

Primary research to detect duplicate question pairs within community-based question answering systems is based on datasets made of English questions only. This research put forward a solution to the problem of duplicate question detection by matching semantically identical questions in transliterated bilingual data. Deep learning has been implemented to analyze informal languages like Hinglish which is a bilingual mix of Hindi and English on Community Question Answering (CQA) platforms to identify duplicacy in questions.

Case Report: Chemoradiation with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin Unveiling Leprosy Type 1 Downgrading Reaction.

Type 1 lepra reaction (T1R) is a major complication seen in nonpolar forms of leprosy and leads to significant morbidity. The classification of T1R as up and downgrading, based on previously defined histopathological criteria (by Ridley), has therapeutic and prognostic implications. The trigger factors for these reactions are poorly described, especially in case of downgrading T1R and we describe a case of leprosy reaction that was possibly triggered by chemoradiation and elucidate the possible mechanism.

Associations between sleep, obesity, and asthma in urban minority children.

Study Objectives: Although obesity, asthma, and sleep-disordered breathing are interrelated, there is limited understanding of the independent contributions of body-mass index and pulmonary function on polysomnography in children with asthma.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review on 448 7- to 18-year-old children with asthma who had undergone polysomnography testing between 1/2007-12/2011 to elucidate the association between spirometry variables, body-mass index, and polysomnography parameters, adjusting for asthma and antiallergic medications.

Results: Obese children had poorer sleep architecture and more severe gas exchange abnormalities compared to healthy weight children.

Pseudogynecomastia: A chance occurrence with acitretin.

Psoriatic involvement of nails manifests in the form of irregular, deep and large pits, splinter hemorrhages, subungual hyperkeratosis, oil drop spot, and onycholysis of the nail bed. Retinoids are one of the treatment modalities for nail psoriasis. Pseudogynecomastia is an uncommonly reported side effect of retinoids.
